Pros

Employee Discounts on supplements Flexible work schedule

Cons

Pay is pitiful. Weekly sales goals on everything. Here is a sample: P3 - 30%: These are premium GNC products. You must sell to 3 out of every 10 customers. At times very difficult. Gold Cards: 11%. You must sell a GNC card to a minimum 1 out of every 10 customers. Difficult. Multi-vitamins: 20%. You must sell multi-vitamins to 2 out of every 10 customers. Extremely difficult. OMS (one more sale) 5%. After customer has finished purchasing, you are supposed to add OMS which is a specific product that changes every week. Extremely stressful job. Mandatory conference calls for managers twice a week. The purpose of this call is to berate, goad, insult, humiliate managers to sell more. No respect for employees. Store Managers treated as slaves.

Pros

It was fun to work in a vitamin retailer. Nice to have the ability to help people with health related goals.

Cons

Extremely Sales Driven atmosphere. Uncompetitive pricing. I was promoted internally to store manager and the pay was horrible for the work required. A large portion of the customers were people looking for a product to beat a drug screen.
